Rhye’s Woman, Mac DeMarco’s 2, Majical Cloudz’s Impersonator, and the Besnard Lakes’ Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO were among the “Long List” LPs that didn’t make the final cut.

As mentioned earlier, the results will be announced on September 23 at an awards gala held in Toronto and hosted by two-time past “Short List” nominees Kathleen Edwards and Shad. A limited number of public tickets will go on sale for $50 on Monday, July 22. The winner is selected by a Grand Jury of 11, which is culled from a panel of more than 200 Canadian journalists, broadcasters, and programmers. In addition to earning the title of Canadian Album of the Year, the victor receives $30,000. Last year’s honor went to Feist for Metals.
